Yamir Moreno

Prof. Yamir Moreno got his PhD in Physics (Summa Cum Laude, 2000) from University of Zaragoza. Shortly afterward, he joined the Condensed Matter Section of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy as a research fellow. He is the head of the Complex Systems and Networks Lab (COSNET) since 2003 and is also affiliated to the Department of Theoretical Physics of the Faculty of Sciences, University of Zaragoza. He is the Deputy Director of the Institute for Biocomputation and Physics of Complex Systems (BIFI) and member of its Government Board and Steering Committee. During the last years, he has been working on several problems such as: the study of nonlinear dynamical systems coupled to complex structures, transport processes and diffusion with applications in communication and technological networks, dynamics of virus and rumors propagation, game theory, systems biology (the TB case), the study of more complex and realistic scenarios for the modeling of infectious diseases, synchronization phenomena, the emergence of collective behaviors in biological and social environments, the development of new optimization data algorithms and the structure and dynamics of socio-technical and biological systems. He has published more than 170 scientific papers in international refereed journals and he serves as a reviewer for around 30 scientific journals and research agencies. His research works have collected more than 13200 (23500) citations, h=47 (58) according to ISI WoK (Google Scholar), including the most cited Physics Reports of the last decade (“Complex Networks and their Applications”, Phys. Rep. 424, 175-304 (2006)). At present, he is a Divisional Associate Editor of Physical Review Letters, a member of the Editorial Boards of Scientific Reports, and Applied Network Science, Editor of the Journal of Complex Networks, and Academic Editor of PLoS ONE. Prof. Moreno is the elected President of the Complex Systems Society (CSS) since 2015 and also belongs to its Executive Committee and Council. He is also the Vice-President of the Network Science Society and a member of the Future and Emerging Technology Advisory Group of the European Union’s Research Program: H2020. Besides, he belongs to the Advisory Board of the WHO Collaborative Center “Complexity Sciences for Health Systems” (CS4HS), whose headquarter is at the University of British Columbia Centre for Disease Control, in Vancouver, Canada. He is a Research Leader at the Institute for Scientific Interchange Foundation (ISI), Turin, Italy since 2013, and External Faculty of the Complexity Science Hub Vienna, Austria since 2017.
